They're still the best of friends and not quite ready to cross the line between them although they're both aware that there's something there. One of the things I love most about them is their friendship so I'm glad that you showed that.

There's a discovery just hovering in the air between Auggie and Annie. I can feel the anticipation and it's making my skin tingle. Underneath it all, their friendship is there - solid and dependable. But the overall ambiance is playful and it's catching.

This was a sweet and funny ending to a cute two-shot. It had me laughing and awwwwing throughout. :)

I don't think Annie's characterization was off for the information that you gave us; I think she would have been shaken after seeing the young man die. My only constructive comment about that was it seemed a bit of a stretch that they'd have a game night the same day it happened. Maybe a night at the bar would have been more appropraite. But, if you had made it a week later or something, I could see that-and her being upset would still be vaild. Still, I liked how you ended this piece.

I loved all the nicknames at the beginning. "Boy Wonder." Haha. I think you have a good grasp on how the characters speak.

See, I knew Auggie would take home the trophy. ;) Scrabble King triumphs again! I'll have to add "Methoxyfluranes" to my Scrabble repertorie. Haha.

The only thing that would have made this ending better is if Jai had been the guy that had been killed (self-proclaimed Jai hater here, that can't explain why she's not crazy about Jai's character). But I'm good with how you put it to too. I even think it fits with Annie's character better because she's really empathetic and that shows in her being upset about the young man's death.

Good job. Thanks for the cute story. Hope to see other things from you in the future. Maybe even a companion piece to this one? It could be titled: Scrabble King Dethroned or Losing Streak. Just throwing that out there. :)

Great job! I'm trying to place the car wreck though... The only one I can really think of from the show was the one Annie was involved in. Is this another idea you're pulling from? Do we get to read that? :D

Great job!

love it!

i know its totally up to you and ill keep reading this fic no matter what,but i think id like to read this all from annie's pov. love auggie to death but i wanna see him through annie's newly opened eyes and be girly about being surprised when finding out more about aug and reading about the (hopefully) romantic things he does for annie..

anyways thats just me! but i know ill love whatever you come up with bc i already love it! keep up the good work!

Really liked what you did here. There realtionship was very believable, as were their interactions with one another.

I thought you might have lingered a litle too long on Annie's change of feelings for Auggie, but I understand why you did it. Maybe I'm just so convinced in my head that they need to be together that I don't require any kind of logical explanation of how it happened. *sigh* They are just so cute together. . . :)

Anyway, for your first CA fic, this was great. I'm looking forward to seeing how it ends. . .but I think I have an inkling of what's to come.

The real question is: Who will reign as the Scrabble Champion? Haha. My bet's on the Scrabble King-if he doesn't win with his wits, maybe he'll dazzle her with his good looks and make her forget how to spell. ;)

Squee! I loves it. You've really got the banter and the voices down, and I really look forward to the rest of this fic. You've set up a really great premise and I love the way that you've handled their difficult dance along that line between friendship and more.

Here's hoping you update soon, while I head back to read this four or five more times before bed. :)
